Blue Chip Detonators

The Blue Chip® family of low-energy chip slapper detonators is designed for a wide variety of applications. The detonators have been qualified to MIL-DTL-23659 Appendix A and are qualified for use in-line. All versions of the detonator feature the same basic shape with variations in the explosive column.

The chip slapper consists of an exploding metal foil, covered by a polyimide flying plate, deposited on a ceramic “chip” substrate. The assembly is laser welded to ensure the device is hermetic to a leak rate as low as 10-9 atm-cc/sec. Excelitas manufactures Blue Chip Detonators with either 2 or 6 pin TO-5 headers that can be utilized as surface mount, plugged into a connector, or attached to a flexible tape strip line.
